Mia, com dez anos, vê a sua vida virada do avesso no momento em que a família decide deixar Londres para gerir uma quinta de criação de leões, na África do Sul. Mia reencontra a felicidade quando nasce um lindo leão branco, Charlie, desenvolvendo uma ligação próxima com a cria selvagem. Três anos depois, a vida de Mia volta a ser abalada, quando descobre um segredo inquietante que o pai esconde. Destroçada pela ideia de que possam fazer mal a Charlie, Mia decide fugir, deixando a quinta e a família para trás. Os dois partem numa aventura épica, através da savana africana, à procura de um local onde Charlie possa viver livre e em segurança. (NOS Lusomundo Audiovisuais)

A naive children's story? Perhaps, but it is also a beautiful tale of a determined girl and her friendship with a white lion that poignantly highlights the injustice perpetrated by human beasts on the majestic king of animals. It has always been my dream to visit wild Africa, so I really enjoyed this film, especially since there was no shortage of suspense and pleasant music. It's almost hard to believe that the filming was done with real white lions and not digital substitutes. It is an amazing three-year project based on the perfect coexistence of children and lions, which deserves admiration and must tug at the heartstrings of every nature-loving person. (80%)

Mia and the White Lion reminded me a lot of the 2013 German film Windstorm, which also focused on the friendship between a girl and a wild animal. In the end, I liked the lion's adventure a bit more than the horse one, as I found it more believable. I must commend the amazing animal work and the many beautiful shots of the wild African landscape. The fact of how cruelly lions are treated in South Africa, for the pleasure of inhuman monsters, shocked me greatly. I appreciate that the film tries to highlight these unpleasant realities alongside the family-relationship issues.
